Crook Golf Club

This was the first time I've played this course and it won't be the last.

The course layout is fantastic, although I'll have to play it a few more times to get a better knowledge of the blind shots it demands.

The greens were an absolute joy, with a great variety but their pace very consistant.

The fairways were pretty good, but very tricky to hold, although this is just a design of the layout to increase the difficulty.

All in all this is gem of a course that I'll be back to play again.

Amazing course with lovely views. Not too long. Greens were excellent. Great 19th. Will definitely be returning

Lovely course played a few times now & will play many more, can’t really fault it

As a beginner I found it challenging. Mostly noticeable on the second 9. Each time I have played it the first 9 gets you into the swing of it then it becomes more difficult.

Yesterday the greens were fast and I suffered with the short game.

I would say it is challenging for everyone of different standards.

Yes I will be returning again.

Price yes good value and most definitely excellent value compared to down South.

Superb course greens second to none and friendly staff well worth a play

We had a great time course was first class. Best greens I have played on this year. Very tricky undulating course made it very hard to hold the fairways and greens. I will definitely be coming back

I love challenge and this course has laid down a gauntlet

And they served an excellent much needed Guiness after being beaten up by this course

We found the course in excellent condition and the greens were fantastic. Some of the holes are quite challenging if you haven’t played the course before, if you have you know where to put the ball for the best chance of getting to the green

Played this course a few times now and each time I’ve never had a problem. We had a 4-ball due to tee off before us and they let us jump ahead (because we were only a 2-ball).

The course staff keep this place in top condition and should be proud of their work.

Definitely worth a visit and we will be back again soon.

The staff were very helpful and attentive.

The course was in excellent condition including the greens.

There were not many playing for a Saturday and very few in the bar area at the end of our round at 4pm. But we really enjoyed the course and the clubhouse.

Would recommend this little gem.

This review is based on the experience prior to me teeing off.

I booked a tee time via GolfNow for 11:10 and arrived 30 minutes early to get a warm up in. However, when I reported my attendance at the bar, I was informed that I wasn’t booked and that time was taken by someone else (even though it was booked 2 days prior).

The lady behind the bar was very helpful and offered me to join the 11:10 group, but my group was 3 people so that wasn’t an option. She checked and the earliest tee time was 11:40, so we were able to get a round in (even if it was 40 minutes late). Thank you (Anita, I think I heard someone say).

Now the course - 3rd time playing Crook and it was as good as the 2 times previous. The greens were unbelievably fast, one of our group commented on how good the green keeping staff were doing.

I will definitely be back and so will the others in my group.

Great course, friendly members who were happy to have a bit craic as we let them play through us.

2nd time playing the course and the conditions are great for the time of year.

Rude staff member in reception I.e the bar I asked a little man a question regarding the course as it was our first time playing at this course I was met with a “NAH” then he walked away when we was still trying to speak one of them was really nice though and helpful and even apologised for the others attitude.

We then went to the first tee before we even took a shot we had another man in a buggy come over to explain there’s a competition on so be respectful he then said you do realise you’re meant to be in dress shorts or dress trousers to play here we were unaware as we when we booked no one mentioned it however the shorts/trousers we did have on were actually bought from a golf shop but didn’t argue he told us to bare that in mind for future.

Course is hard especially for novices, very open little room for error greens were extremely fast it’s very hilly I did find the fairways a bit weird as there’s big humps in the middle so when ball was landing was bouncing off into a random direction so was very hard to judge.

I would say I’d come back but after the sheer attitude from the little man I probably won’t I did feel like we was getting stereotyped aswell golf is meant to be a sport for everyone and no one should be judged I will say the members who we spoke to around the course and club were spot on and not a reflection of some of staffs attitude if you’re that unhappy in your job simply leave but don’t be rude to people especially newcomers try to be more welcoming.

Sunny spring day with the course in beautiful condition.

The greens and fairways are in fantastic condition. For a Saturday the speed of play was perfect no waiting on shots flowing at good speed, 2ball round in 3 hours. Only downside was lack of pro shop.
